Even Now, Some Things Are Still Beyond Us

Team Starmer's projected transformation of the country into a pioneering AI powerdise, where tech-bro manbabies may plagiarise as they please via massive, water-guzzling monuments to misinformation, seems to be suffering a touch of Britishness. Like all benign and universally advantageous policies, AI must necessarily be tested on the poor before being inflicted on the nation as a whole; and the Department of Workfare and Poverty is a natural place to start given that so few of its personnel can pass the Turing test even when encountered face to interface. So little has the Government to hide about its plans for making the welfare bureaucracy less human that it took only a single Freedomm of Information request to discover that at least half a dozen shirker processing systems have already been shut down or rejected. Such failures can be accounted for only by excessive machine generosity or by a mulish disinclination to harm human beings or, through inaction, allow human beings to come to harm; since not even a Britishness thoroughly penetrated by tech-bro manbabies could breed a system that was too inefficient for the DWP.
